A lot of the criticism of these devices, especially re: the writing experience, is for the older tech.
For those who are interested, here a number of other devices that are *designed* to be suitable for reading and writing.
Unless stated these are all 10.3" devices. There are smaller and larger devices too.
Onyx Boox:
Note line;
Max line (13.3")
Max/Note comparison:

Nova line (7.8" - too small? though I'm considering it cause of price)
Proof of concept (writing small):

There are others too, but I don't know much about them. Didn't list Sony or Remarkable, been out for years and most people are familiar with their limitations. Remarkable 2 will be released in the future.
@rjwse@aol.com I use Calibre from time to time for library management. Didn't know it had editing and publishing tools.That's cool. I imagine it cuts several steps out of the normal process of preparing to convert to epub.
